Doritos Corn Dip

Another Friday, another awesome football recipe. But like all of my football recipes, this would be great for any large get-together, football related or not!

We ate this as a dip for chips, but the original recipe actually is more of a corn salad to be served as a side dish. And either way you want to serve it is great! It’s nice to have a versatile recipe! The only difference is, if serving it as a salad, you’ll want to crush up about 3/4 of a bag of Doritos and stir it into the corn mixture. Since I was serving it with chips, I didn’t mix them in and we just scooped up the corn mixture on Doritos. You could do either or both!

I liked that this dip was light and refreshing. Sometimes with dips (like cheesy rotel dip or 7 layer Mexican dip) they are so heavy and filling that I can’t eat anything else with it. This corn dip, however, was light enough to eat and enjoy lots of other delicious football food! It made a wonderful addition to our tailgate as we watched the Auburn Tigers march on to an 8-1 record! War Eagle!

Really liked this recipe. I “manned it up” a little. I split it in half. One half was the original recipe. To the other half I added diced jalapenos, a teaspoon of red chili flakes and garlic powder. Oh, and I baked it at 350 for 20 minutes. I served it side by side with he cold dip. Great contrast and both were awesome. The corn is the star either way. Next time, I am going to add a little sour cream and some hot sauce to the spicy half.
